The Paris Agreement, three years on, sparks debate about its ambition and effectiveness. While it provides predictability for climate action, experts note we're "not doing enough" for the 1.5°

The Paris Agreement, three years on, sparks debate about its ambition and effectiveness. While it provides predictability for climate action, experts note we're "not doing enough" for the 1.5° warming target. Trevor Houser cautions against a binary view; progress has already averted suffering, and more benefits are achievable while aiming for 1.5°-2°.

Rapid global decarbonization, focused on carbon reduction, is crucial. Joshua Goldstein emphasizes that U.S. climate leadership is vital; its absence hinders other nations' goals. Staffan Qvist cites Sweden's successful hydro and nuclear grid, contrasting it with Germany's problematic 100% renewables pursuit.

Atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe's research highlights the Arctic's significant potential for dangerous climate feedback. However, the primary concern isn't the melting ice itself.

Instead, the danger lies in the vast fossil fuel resources that would become accessible with sea ice loss. Exploiting these reserves would inevitably lead to the complete failure of the Paris Agreement.
